Toronto, 2019.04.16

Every day I cross the center of Toronto's downtown via street only usable by transit, taxis and bikes - not a big idea globally but new to TO. This was put in place as a "pilot" to verify the idea, and the pilot seems to have worked because today city council voted to make the street's design permanent.

I'd like to thank all of the Councillors who voted for this, it directly makes a difference to my safety.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
